3x = 2y. Is this equation a linear or non-linear relation? How do you know?
Added by Benjamin F.
Step 1
A linear relation is a relationship between two variables that can be represented by a straight line on a graph. In other words, if we plot the values of the two variables on a graph, we should get a straight line. Now, let's look at the given equation: 3x = 2y. Show more…
